Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted and cooled)
- 0.33 cup Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (granulated)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Then add the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring together until a smooth batter forms.
Carefully mix in the unsweetened almond milk until the batter reaches a pourable consistency. If using sugar-free dark chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake as is, or top with sugar-free whipped cream or a drizzle of melted sugar-free chocolate, if desired.
